Leno and O'Brien

They shall return! The two are coming back after the new year without their writers.

This is disturbing, but it's decent that Leno, O'Brien, and Letterman have been paying their staff's salaries while in negotiations to bring them back. Letterman's even been paying the staff of Craig Ferguson's show, since his production company produces both. It'd be nice if the writers and management could agree on something; there are other people who depend on the income from television shows, like cameramen. I have a friend out in L.A., and I'm sure that she's had to ask her parents for financial help.
